How do I choose my language school?

Here is a short guideline of the questions you should ask yourself to help you compare schools:

- How many students are there per class?
- What is the actual length of 1 lesson (45-50-55-60 minutes)?
- How many hours per week do you actually get (is the break included in the total number of hours)?
- Are there any class time reduction? Ex what happens if there are only a few students of my level?

To find all the answers about ALCE, you can read more on our FAQ and why ALCE?
